John, at this point it has been almost 3 months since Eric has bothered 
to return a phone call ar email from me about said subject. It looks to 
me like he isn't going to do them, but since I haven't heard from him, I 
don't what the reason is.
I also am contemplating doing them myself, but this time I won't offer 
them up until I have a product in my hands instead of relying on someone 
else.
